I’ve spent two decades shaping stories for people at every level of influence, from pro athletes and cultural voices to C‑Suite executives at global corporations. Whether building a brand for a public figure or designing a board‑ready presentation for enterprise leadership, I bring a mix of agency creativity and corporate storytelling that makes complex information feel human, clear, and visually compelling.

“I had the opportunity to work closely with Larissa on the launch of the Eaton Culture Model, a complex, multi-month initiative that involved numerous workstreams, tactics and deliverables. Throughout the project, she was an outstanding partner.

Larissa consistently brought creative ideas, a positive attitude and a strong bias for action. She’s a true doer who knows how to lean in, move quickly and execute with excellence. What I appreciate most is that she combines strong execution with thoughtful perspective. She isn’t afraid to bring ideas to the table, challenge thinking and help make the work better. “

– Margaret H., Director, Internal Communications, Eaton

“I worked for Larissa as a Project Manager, serving as a liaison between our clients and the creative team while helping manage communication, timelines, expectations, and project progress. Larissa was an incredible leader—straightforward, passionate, understanding, and always willing to teach. She communicated expectations clearly, kept me informed, and made sure I had what I needed to confidently manage our clients and keep projects moving.

What stands out most about Larissa is the depth of her knowledge and her ability to see the full picture. Her talent and eye for detail are exceptional, but she also understands how design, strategy, client experience, and execution all have to work together. She is incredibly talented, a strong leader, and truly a great person to work for.”

Especially remarkable was the creation of the brand book that she took on and designed, giving life to how our EVP will be used across our global footprint. Her willingness to challenge how we have usually approached branding, bringing new and especially creative strategies, made this campaign feel modern and real in the eyes of our target audience.”
– Jackie M., VP, Global TA, Eaton

    I’m Larissa Leeper, a Creative Director with twenty years of experience shaping stories across both agency and enterprise environments. My career began in hip‑hop album cover design and evolved into leading creative strategy inside global corporations, where I design high‑stakes communications for C‑Suite leaders, board audiences, and enterprise teams. I’ve built brands and visual narratives for pro athletes, influencers, authors, filmmakers, and public figures, as well as senior executives navigating complex business, cultural, and organizational challenges.

    I specialize in turning dense information and strategic messaging into clear, modern, visually sophisticated communications. Whether I’m designing an executive presentation, a corporate report, a leadership narrative, or a scalable design system, my focus is always on clarity, precision, and human connection. I bring agency boldness and corporate rigor together to create communication assets that help leaders tell their story with confidence and impact.

    I’m drawn to work that feels intentional and honest. My goal is simple: take what is complex, make it understandable, and deliver it beautifully.
